"And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine ..." (Matthew 7:28)
From the scriptures cited below, we see that there are different types of doctrines. There are doctrines from the Lord, as well as doctrines of men. There are references to strange doctrines as well as those doctrines that are not sound. There is doctrine that is pure and doctrine that is full of vanities. And then there is the doctrine of Christ.
What is the doctrine of Christ?
"Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son." (II John 1:9-10)
